The favourites all went through, but boy, some of them made it very difficult for themselves. We have 2 days of rest before the first of 4 cracking games kicks off. THE WINNERS A huge well done to all our FiT Prize winners. Drew Preece is our GR4 World Champion, very well played. 99 points was a massive score, and he just beat Artur Milewski on goals scored, as points were tied. Before Belgium kicked off, Drew couldn’t have dreamed of winning – but a super substitute performance from Lukaku and a composed assist and finish from De Bruyne, propelled...

A month or so before the World Cup started we announced that every manager would be able to make unlimited transfers after the group stages. So, at just after 11am on Friday you will be able to buy and sell players without using up any transfer credits. The unlimited transfer period will end at precisely 4.50pm (British Summer time) on Saturday, 10 minutes before Brazil vs Chile kicks off. We will also switch off the PlayerDAQ for the duration of unlimited transfers, freezing player values. You can then buy and sell players at will, just as if we were in...

What a gameround… how crazy was Group D? Costa Rica are through to the knockout stage with a game to spare, whilst England, along with either Italy or Uruguay, will head straight home after playing just 3 matches. THE WINNERS A huge well done to all our FiT Prize winners. T. Weidner is our GR2 World Champion, very well played. 104 points was a massive score. 4 transfers were used to bring in Messi, Benzema, Muller and the disappointing Costa. Captain Robben and 3 Belgian defenders did the rest. We will be in touch soon to sort out your £250...

UPDATED: We’ve had a lot of people asking about gameround changes and when they will receive new transfers. For those that don’t already know, you can find the gameweek schedule in the in-app Match Centre. The gameweek switches from one to the next the morning after the last fixture of that gameround – so, for example: IMPORTANT: It can take up to 30 minutes for your transfers to refresh, so don’t panic if you haven’t received new ones at exactly 11am. Gameround 3 starts at 11am on Monday the 23rd June Gameround 4 and UNLIMITED TRANSFERS start at 11am on...

Group E Today’s the day!!! So, you’ve had some blogs about the groups and now it’s my turn to give you a run down of Group E. Well this looks on paper this looks like a 2 horse race to see who qualifies, and with a group consisting of France, Switzerland, Honduras and Ecuador you would be forgiven for thinking that, but I want to delve a little deeper and see if if Ecuador or Honduras have any chance at all or are just making up the numbers in this group. France, They certainly have had a huge variance of...

Let’s get straight to the point, Belgium are the bookies favourites to win the group and are dark horses for some to lift the trophy. Will Capello’s experience be enough to see Russia through with Belgium, or will South Korea and Algeria mount a challenge? Belgium: How they qualified: Eastern European nations, Croatia and Serbia are traditionally tough teams to overhaul when it comes to qualifying for a major tournament, but the Belgians made a mockery of that. Among their eight victories, two came away from home against both of those nations, while 10 points were collected from the four...

Here’s part 2 of my group by group run-down of some of the big name players I’m currently considering for my squad. I’ve tried to include a few differentials, as the likes of Neymar, Robben, Reus and Oscar will already be in many an iTeam. Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France & Honduras: Goalkeeper France, Hugo Lloris – Club: Totthenham Hotspur – International Caps: 55 Caps – Value: 5.8M. I was expecting a few clean sheets bonuses from this man, but after watching Ecuador last night I’m a little worried. Still, he’s a great Goalkeeper and he’s nailed on. Defender Switzerland,...

Despite this group being one of the most looked upon, due to it containing the host nation, I am going to try and keep it as balanced and easy to follow as possible. So, obviously there is a huge expectation on Brazil, who have not had much success in recent tournaments. But with many tipping this to be their year, I am not sure it is that straight forward, and many others are saying they will either ‘flop/win, with there being no middle ground, and I would have to agree with them. Just a quick reminder of the 3 opening...

Here’s my group by group run-down of some of the big name players I’m currently considering for my squad. I’ve tried to include a few differentials, as the likes of Neymar, Robben, Reus and Oscar will already be in many an iTeam. Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico & Cameroon: GoalkeeperBrazil, Julio Cesar – Club: Queens Park Rangers – International Caps: 78 – Value: 6.0M. Currently on loan at Toronto, he should be Scolari’s number 1. Awarded the ‘Golden Glove’ in last years Confederations Cup win, his recent international performances have been top notch. DefenderBrazil, Thiago Silva – Club: Paris Saint-Germain...
